Keep It Simple and Fast refers to my focus during development of applications. In my opinion, applications should be very simple to use and do not have dozens of options. Every application should perform very fast, even in high transactions volume or high multi user environments.

IIS Database Manager allows you to easily manage your local and remote databases from within IIS Manager. IIS Database Manager automatically discovers databases based on the Web server or application configuration and also provides the ability to connect to any database on the network. Once connected, IIS Database Manager provides a full array of management options including managing tables, views, stored procedures and data, as well as running ad hoc queries.

IIS Database Manager provides native support for SQL Server and is also fully extensible for developers to add support for other database systems. In addition, because IIS Database Manager is an extension of IIS Manager, administrators can securely delegate the management of databases to authorized local or remote users, without having to open additional management ports on the server.

First of all install the IIS Database Manager of your web server.
Start the IIS Manager.
Select your web server
In the management view click on the Database Manager icon

Create a database connection to the database you want:

Open your connection:

Press on the new query button:

Now you can start executing queries on your database

Be aware this is a simple query analyzer. You can't for instance retrieve query plans etc. But for simple checks it can be a nice tool without the need to install the full SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
